We visited during a 2 day trip to Edinburgh. We were recommended a meal at Badger & co and I’m so glad we took note of the recommendation! The food was incredible, beautifully presented too. We had the chicken and mushroom pie and the 8oz steak. Both were amazing. To drink, I had the ‘cubs can’t drink’ mocktail and it was also delicious! The vibes were great so a good atmosphere and a great playlist 😅. We will hopefully be back and will definitely pass on the recommendation! All the staff were lovely and friendly too :)

Everything was very good apart from a longish wait on our food which when it arrived could have been hotter. Otherwise very happy
Badger & CoResponded 3 days ago
Maurice, We’re sorry about the delay and that your food wasn’t as hot as expected — that’s not the experience we aim to provide. We're glad to hear you were otherwise very happy. We’d love the chance to welcome you back for an even better experience next time! Many thanks Team Badger

Excellent service and food. It was extremely loud in one part of the restaurant, we asked to move and it wasn’t a problem for them.

The food was a bit bland. The mash had no flavor or seasonings so I had to salt it heavily. The chicken pie was good but again, not a lot of flavor. Ambiance was nice. Service was slow and inattentive.
Badger & CoResponded on May 28, 2025
Tonya, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the meal didn’t meet your expectations. We pride ourselves on the flavour of our pies, and it’s a shame we didn’t hit the mark for you this time. We always encourage guests to let us know during their visit if something’s not quite right — we’re happy to adjust or offer something else on the spot to ensure a better experience. We do appreciate your comments and hope you’ll give us another chance in the future. Our team works hard to deliver great service, so we’ll definitely use your input to improve. Thanks again for visiting, and we hope to welcome you back soon! Team Badger x
